As a proud member of the Armenian diaspora and also reading this during Armenian genocide remembrance, this book has me feeling some type of way. They tried to erase us, but still we stand with our people, our culture, and our stories.

Given my enjoyment of culturally rich books, I knew there was a high probability I was going to love this one. But especially because it’s is Armenian (and yes, I’m bias AF), I love loved this book!

Tori is such a badass, no nonsense, straight to business FMC. From a not so great upbringing, life has taught her to stay sharp. Her toughness initially is abrasive, but throughout the book her character softens and learns to trust, and from one closed off bitch to another, I just love that for her. Baker Bro Vahe really puts in the work to break down her claws. He is patience and persistent, plus I love me a man who gets off on a woman’s pleasure.

The writing was so fun, and I had so many highlights and chortling moments. The humor is like dad jokes for sluts. Tori’s lists and Queenies voicemails in between chapters made me giggle and were a fun palette cleanser (Respectfully, disagree with Tori on the penis straws at bachelorette parties, they are a must!)

Total aside, with the use of “hella” multiple times, Alyssa is a west coast gurlie and it shows.

Thank you Net Galley for ARC!!

Heavier on the graphic sex than I enjoy in books, the story and characters were good enough to make me overlook it (and skim). Both Vahe and Tori and interesting and I enjoyed the way they come together and how Tori begins to trust.
